Greed, envy, pride, hostility… can be considered terrible sins; but there is no greater than being unhappy. Life is too short to be unhappy, suffering and angry.
It depends on you what you will do in the time that has been granted to you. Think deeply to understand if you want the years you spend in this world to be a fantastic story of love, friendship and goals achieved or a sea of ​​tears and constant suffering.
You can't always be happy, but almost
Don't be cynical, but neither be innocent. Perhaps you will not be happy at any time of the day, because something always happens that disturbs our tranquility, our life in general. This is evident. However, we want to propose that you reflect on this.
In this case, the exercise consists of a look into the past. Think of all the years of your life, from when you can remember it, until this moment. What do you see?
There are many things you will appreciate when you take a well-thought-out assessment of your life. However, if the end result is that by leaving aside the hard and negative moments, the misfortunes and the pain, the complications and the challenges, you have been happy, you are not committing the sin of not making the most of your time.
If at the time of taking stock of your existence, however, you realize that misfortunes weigh on you like lead around your neck, if you are unable to raise your head, if it is difficult for you to look to the future with hope and if your life it is a sea of ​​tears from which you do not know how to get out, you are committing a serious sin, because you are not happy.
Is happiness overrated?
There are those who say that happiness is overrated. Maybe they are right. Others say it is impossible to reach it, and this is likely. There are also those who believe that it is an invented concept, to try to justify our passage into the world. We will not be denying it.
Regardless of any study or belief, there is one thing we can learn in life. And that is that when we are in love, with a job we like, and surrounded by the people we care about, we are happy. Doesn't it make you feel immense to be where you want to be, to be loved, valued and unique? Isn't this happiness?
You may not have the answer. Many may think that they are not happy, but if you are comfortable with yourself, if you are satisfied with what you do and have, you are probably happy.
How to achieve happiness?
There is only one way to be happy: to be yourself. However, to make your personality explode, you cannot stop on the surface. The capricious, the envious, the defamer justify themselves by saying that they are like this, that no one will be able to change them, but they are out of the way.
"One day in any place, in any place you will meet yourself, and that, only that, can be the happiest or the most bitter of your hours."
-Pablo Neruda-
A person can only be himself when he knows himself intimately. Deep in the heart of each of us is our unique and immutable truth, our true personality. The one that jealously guards the dreams and desires of our soul.
The true pursuit of happiness is rooted in the depths of our being. Because your heart does not lie to you, it will reveal to you who you want to be with and who you don't, the work you want to do, the right partner for you and whoever accompanies you only for personal gain.
Don't wait any longer, because every day that passes is precious time that you waste. Do not make the mistake of being unhappy, nor allow sadness to invade your soul and your being. You deserve the best, and you are the only masters of your present and your future. Hold on to it strongly and start being who you really are.
